Engine Mechanical problem
1988 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I'm having a problem starting my truck. it turns over but won't start.I pulled the air cleaner and turned the key and it doesn't look like gas is getting through. I took the line off the filter on both ends and gas was going through the filter. I shot it with starting fluid and still nothing. I also checked all fuses and they're good. HELP!!!!!!!!!

I'd start by testing the ignition module. It is located under the distributor cap. Should have two electrical connectors (one on each side) and a screw or bolt holding it to the base of the distributor. Take the module out and take it to a auto parts store where they can test the module.
